Dan: It occurs to me that there might be some legal complications with your suggestion. When MZ or Joe post something on SI, I believe that it would be considered public forum. If they sent out the same info to a select group by e-mail, couldn't that be considered inside info? I don't know the legal definition of insider info, but that struck me. My feeling on the general issue is that the exchange of information between management and shareholders pertains only to the timing of the buy and sell trends. I don't think that stopping the flow of information would have any influence on the entrance and exit of flippers other than to alter the timing. Instead of buying on the rumor, they would be buying on the news. But they certainly would be buying if the opportunity to make a quick buck presented itself. If anything, I think the continual flow of information could reduce volatility. This way buying would tend to get spread over a period of time as information is released, rather than intensive, punctuated buying sparked by big news events. It seems to me that the underlying issue is that DCTC will be subject to short-term buying/selling pressures until they can get listed and establish a record of positive earnings. As you said, these are just some thoughts off the top of my head. But I'm glad we're talking about it. I, for one, bought DCTC in part because the lines of communication were so open between management and shareholders. I think that would be a tragic loss. PA

I appreciate your comments, although I too question the legal advisability of such a network, if it includes management. As for whether we long-termers would leave simply because J & M became a little more selective in posting, nah. We were here before and will be here after, no matter what the outcome. And if Joe has his way, some of these "sessions" will be held at in person at selective restaurants and bars. Works for me. I'll volunteer to host the D.C.-area gathering, but of course would gladly defer to Bruce, who has been around longer than me. :-) Ken

One way to keep "unofficial" company news away from people without a long term interest in DCI would be send this type of information out to DCI "long-termers" via e-mail rather than posting it on the thread. The key to this would be to identify the investors who should get it I am out of breath after reading this. DO YOU REALISE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING? You are talking about violating one of the fundamental laws under which a publicly traded company operates in the U.S. !!! For Heaven's sake! Musya.
